Well I figure that the headline will get some attention
Some complain that while America gets puritanical about sex it has a problem with violence in it's media - frankly I think that it could do with more of both.
linkFCC slaps CBS with $3.5 million record fine
After more than a year of inactivity, the Federal Communications Commission leapt into action yesterday, levying dozens of sanctions for indecency against television broadcasters - including a record $3.5 million fine against CBS for airing an episode of the hit drama Without a Trace that included what the commission labeled a "teen sex orgy."
The rulings, which included fines against NBC, Fox and WB's Washington affiliate, define new and tougher standards on indecency and appear to expand by one the list of words banned from the air.
They also represent the first actions taken by the FCC chairman, Kevin J. Martin, a former White House economic adviser.
"The number of complaints received by the commission has risen year after year," Martin said in a statement. "I share the concerns of the public - and of parents, in particular." Between the years of 2002 and 2005, the agency received 300,000 complaints about television shows. Anyone may file a complaint.
